A fictional incident report has facts out of order

Your task: Attributed arrival-time account

You are exploring State police services work in a fictional case. Revise the draft without deciding credibility. Develop one work sample as you investigate. Your writing stays on this page unless you download it.

Supplied fictional records

Witness W1 reports arrival 09:30 in a note entered 10:00. Reception W2 records 09:40 at 09:45. Draft report wrongly says “arrival confirmed 09:30”. Neither account has been verified.

Revise the draft without deciding credibility.

One case, one work sample

1. Understand your role and task
2. Inspect the supplied records
3. Investigate the case

   Request both supplied checks before deciding. Each response becomes part of this same work sample.

4. Make or revise your decision

   Use the replies to choose the focus of your next draft. Keep the other open responsibilities in your note. You can revise this focus without losing your writing.

5. Complete your work sample

   Your records and investigation are already included. Revise the draft without deciding credibility. Add your own explanation or next question.

6. Compare and reflect

   Compare your work sample with one possible explanation. You can return to edit your work before finishing. Reflection is about what you noticed, not a score.
